Vet Transportation…

[Rango_TheManEater]

I am desperately working on getting Rango to a vet ASAP, but everybody is booked to the brim within my area. I may have to drive a few extra miles for him, but I’m more than willing to do so.

For context— Rango (my male Veiled) is currently blind in one eye. It’s gotten worse since I last posted, and it now appears scabbed shut. He also cannot sense any movement on that side and is forced to turn his head in order to use the other eye to see whatever he thinks is moving (bugs, me walking past, etc).

But I’m struggling to think of a method to transport him. Do I give him a closed box with a stick in it so that he doesn’t slide around in my car? I’m nervous about him getting injured while on his way to a vet.

Here are a few photos of his affected eye. I briefly handled him to get a closer look, thinking that may have been shed stuck in his eye… but I was wrong. I have no clue what this is.

UPDATE: I finally scheduled an appointment ASAP with a vet who specializes in exotics. Friday at 12:30, Rango is getting seen!

Rango looks to have a closed fused eye not an infection. The vet should fix Rango's eye infection without problems. I have fixed plenty of my chameleons fused eye before. Normally regular misting prevents fused eye from happening.
